Cairo Travel Tips & Reviews
Nov 6, 2019
Just a short drive away from downtown Cairo, you can see the proving grounds where the Ancient Egyptian Pharaohs of the Old Kingdom developed the technology that allowed them to build the pyramids at Giza. A visit to these sites is a fascinating way to see how the pyramids evolved into the iconic structures that we all recognize today. While you are there, be sure to stop by what is left of Memphis, which was at one time the capital of the Egyptian empire.
